‘Heated Rivalry' Star's Whimsical New Photoshoot Has Fans Obsessed
Heated Rivalry's François Arnaud is the cover star of the June 2026 China edition of L‘Officiel Hommes, and fans can't seem to get enough of the new photoshoot from it.
From photos of a baguette on Arnaud's head to the actor sharing an apple slide with a donkey, one fan called him "a man full of whimsy," with another saying that they're "loving the weird photoshoot."
"I kissed a donkey for L'Officiel Hommes China (and I liked it)," Arnaud captioned the post on Instagram.
Arnaud's Heated Rivalry co-star, Robbie G.K., commented on the photo dump, saying, "i need all of these on a tshirt."
"So grateful to see that truly creative editorials like this still exist," one fan commented.
"The whole shoot is just so fun and whimsical and gay I love it," another said.
"How am I supposed to shine in this world when a man like this exists?" One user joked. "Unfair."
Deadline recently announced that Arnaud will star in Hulu's upcoming series, Count My Lies, as Danny, a friend of Lindsay Lohan's character, Violet.
The series is based on a recent novel by Sophie Stava of the same name. It was chosen as the GMA Book Club Pick for March 2025, with Good Morning America calling it "an unputdownable suspense novel about deception, privilege and the price of keeping up appearances."
Although it hasn't been announced if Arnaud will be returning to season 2 of Heated Rivalry, G.K., who plays Hunter's love interest, Kip Grady, said to People that he'd like to see the couple's storyline further explored.
"We catch Scott and Kip on the very top of the rollercoaster of our storyline, and I think that there's a whole lot that could be explored after the fact," G.K. said. "So I'd like to see some of that."
Heated Rivalry will begin filming this August, with a release date set for spring of 2027.
